DS2, at 8 months, is still sporting a gummy smile with no sign of teeth. No teething symptoms either. Built like a rugby player though.Is this normal?

Totally.. I think DD2 had first at around 9 months, now at 17 months she still only has 5

DS1 didn't get his first tooth until 16 months. Better for the teeth, as they will have been exposed to less milk.

My DD didnt get her first tooth till 14mths!
Shes now 20 mths and only has 8.

Totally, DD never got one tooth til 11 mths, then it was another 3 before she got 6 in the space os a month.

Eldest Ds got his first tooth at 5 mths, and youngest ds at 9 1/2 mths

Ds got his first tooth at 10 months, still getting the last few now and he's 2 and a half! Totally normal

My DD is 9m, no teeth yet. I'm making the most of those gorgeous gummy grins!
